This one is definitely not what you were expecting right? Well, check out the book blurb!
Book Blurb:
Banished from the South Pole, Kara tries to carve out a new
life among the elves of the North. It’s not easy with a secret to protect—a
secret she's cursed with by the unusual circumstances of her heritage:
half-elf, half-fairy. In the North, she’s assigned to work with Seb on a
special project. He's the most gorgeous elf she’s ever seen—and the orneriest.
As if being banished wasn’t punishment enough.
Seb introduces her to Trystin, a fairy from the nearby fairy forest. Trystin discerns her secret right away and promises to teach her how to use the powers given to her by the very thing she’s fighting to keep hidden.

EXCERPT:
He held the helmet
out once again and this time Kara took it. She climbed on behind Seb,
holding to the side handles. He grunted, in frustration or humor she
couldn’t tell. He reached behind him, grabbed her hands and wrapped
them around his waist. Kara gasped.
“No backrest,”
he said, which was true enough. “You’ll fall off if you don’t
hold on.”
Seb hit the
throttle, launching them forward. Kara couldn’t stop the small
scream that escaped her throat as she tightly clasped Seb, burying
her face in his back in terror. She slid forward, pressing tightly
against him, refusing to look up as the world sped by. Panic slid
across her bones until she felt as frozen as the Earth’s surface
beneath them. He sped around corners and across bumps that lifted the
machine airborne. Her breathing was rapid and her heart felt as if it
would pound its way through her chest. It seemed as if hours passed
rather than a mere thirty minutes when he finally pulled to a stop.
Kara tried to
release him, truly she did, but telling her brain to release her
death grip on him and actually doing it seemed to be at opposite ends
of the spectrum.
“Kara?” he
asked. She couldn’t lift her head to answer him. She felt his
hands on hers, peeling them away. He managed to do so, though she
still couldn’t move.
Pulling her helmet
off, he leaned down to peer into her face. Seb surprised her by
pulling her into his arms, holding her tight, safe, enfolded in his
warm embrace as she shook, spasms wracking her body. Kara didn’t
know how much time passed before her brain began to really process
the situation. As she became aware of her reaction to nothing more
than a ride on a sled, and the fact that she was now clasped tightly
in Seb’s arms, embarrassment seeped through her.
